Solar panels in Renfrew
Renfrew sits on the south bank of the Clyde, just east of Paisley and directly across the river from Yoker and Braehead. The housing stock runs from pre-war terraces and tenements near the Cross through 1970s council estates at Kirklandneuk and Moorpark to newer private builds along the Clyde waterfront at Ferry Village. Many properties in the older streets have traditional pitched slate roofs on stone walls, while the newer riverside flats tend toward modern tile on timber frame. The town is well served by the M8 and the Renfrew–Yoker ferry, and SP Energy Networks handles the grid connection for every installation.
Roof note: Most roofs in the older streets face south-east to south-west with few obstructions from tall buildings — good solar potential across the town. The newer Ferry Village development has a mix of orientations, so a survey checks which elevations work.
